Scientific Levels of Field Data Analysis in Computing Research

Abstract

Scientific research is a study that is systematically planned with a view of solving real life problems through creating new knowledge. A researcher requires to draft questions in line with the constructs and concept being handled. Data analysis begins with proper analysis of variables and literature to be reviewed. However, field data analysis involves descriptive, exploratory, inferential, predictive, causal and mechanistic. A desktop literature review of papers published in accredited research journals, books and popular articles was conducted. This review paper will be of great help to both occasional and seasonal researchers as they analyze data to solve problems scientifically and generate new knowledge.
